A Classic FM spokesperson told RadioToday: “Alex James and Charlotte Green will be leaving the station at the end of the year. We would like to thank them for all their hard work and enthusiasm as part of our weekend line up. We wish them every success for the future.”

Charlotte previously worked at BBC Radio 4, reading the news on Today, but left in 2013. Since September 2013 she has read the classified football results on 5 live and the World Service.

Alex James joined Classic FM in 2008 and won an Arqiva in 2009 for Best Commercial Radio Programme of the Year.
